Terrible building conditions
Pros
Nice neighborhood. Quiet neighbors.
Cons
Mgmt is slow to respond to the most basic cleaning requests. Hallways and stairwells go unswept and unmopped for months. Water is cut off for repairs without any warning or timeline given. My kitchen floods every time it rains heavily. They now just ignore us and let the building get worse.
Advice to the owners
Hire better maintenance for daily upkeep. Post signs when expected utilities work is being done. Maintain livable common spaces.
Building is not well kept
Pros
Rent stabilized. Close to trains.
Cons
The building is poorly kept, very rarely swept or mopped. There is trash and scum on the floor in the lobby and staircases. There is a mattress left in the entry way that has been there for weeks. Many of the residents call and complain and no one does anything about the complaints. The building smells bad because the building is never cleaned. It took months for the heat to be regularly turned on for the cold winter months. When our oven was broken it took weeks to get a response to get fixed. Poor communication and slow response time. Would not recommend SRMC to anyone.
Advice to the owners
Clean the building! 1-3 business days response times. Keep the heat on during the winter without having residents beg.
